Question

I've been searching the internet on how to initialize a datepicker twitter bootstrap form helper, but I cant seem to find a tutorial for it. I already have the datepicker.js embeded, but I don't know how to initialize the js to the textbox I want it. How do I initialize the datepicker plugin?

EDIT:

I have added the text box for my datepicker:

        <div class="bfh-datepicker">
        <input  id="datepickers" type="text" class="datepicker">
        </div>

This is how I'm currently initializing it(not working)

$('#datepickers').bfhdatepicker('toggle');
Was it helpful?

Solution

Everything in your code is fine. Since you mentioned about datepicker.js embeded I'm giving my thoughts.

There is no need of datepicker.js to be embedded separately because bootstrap-formhelpers.min.js will take care of it(that the specialty of bfh).

Following the files are needed for Twitter bootstrap form helper.

  1. bootstrap.min.css v3.0.0
  2. bootstrap-formhelpers.min.css
  3. jQuery library v1.10.2
  4. bootstrap.min.js v3.0.0
  5. bootstrap-formhelpers.min.js

See its working in JSFiddle

Here is a official reference from whats to be included?
